More and more people each year are discovering how Triking is a fun, easy, emission-free way to keep fit. TerraTrikes offer a great view of the scenery and an immediate relief from the aches and pains of traditional bicycles.

They are great at replacing your car on short trips while laughing at gas prices. They are well respected in traffic due to their curious shape, and they are easy to transport on traditional bike racks or on a TerraTrike specific hitch rack. TerraTrikes have a comfort level and a cool factor that cannot be denied. Treat yourself to a test ride today, and be part of the solution.

CSRA Triking - Your Pace or Mine

There is now a group of trikers in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). We ride casually several times a week on the North Augusta Greenway and the Augusta Canal. We also do several organized rides during the year on trails like the Silver Comet. If interested, send an email to

I would have expected the Confederate Soldiers Reenacting Association to be up near my old home in Virginia. I live about 5 miles from the Manassas battleground. I did travel up to Gettysburg and it was awesome. It's amazing the distance troops came to fight those battles. They were from every corner of what now is the US.

I'm already down in Naples. Maybe some day I can make a trip up there for a ride.

That sounds awesome! That's near the Blue Ridge Parkway and the trees will be turning. But, I had vowed not to go back to Virginia unless my son decided to get married there. He stayed in the DC area when I moved.

The trip to TerraTrike was phenomenal!! Lots of great information, new products, upgrades to their stock line, and much more. Next year will be great. The folks at TerraTrike were outstanding hosts and I would like to thank them all here for their efforts and attention to detail. You guys are top drawer!

The New River Ride was great! It was a bit chilly starting out but it warmed up nicely. We didn't quite make our goal of Galax to the Shot Tower State Park, but it was a 40 mile trip. If you've never done the New River Trail it's well worth the trip. I haven't quite figured out how to add photos to this, but I've updated our new Facebook page, CSRA Triking - Your Pace or Mine.

sounds great ! im really jealous of you people that have great places to ride, and great people to ride with, we have a multi use trail here, its just a 5 mile circle, and the riders here are mostly people who lost their dl's

Yeah, having a good place to ride does make triking a lot more fun. The New River trip wasn't (unfortunately) in our back yard. For us it was a 550 mile round trip just to get there. But again, it was well worth it. Where we do live is not really a cycle friendly area and there is only one bike shop (Chain Reaction in Evans, GA) that wants to help the group. We do have the Augusta Canal but it's not maintained well and is loaded with potholes. As you get to Augusta itself, the ruts are two to three feet deep. But just across the Savannah River in North Augusta, SC, there is the Greenway. It's a Rail to Trail that is just over 7 miles long. We usually ride it two or three times just because it's just so darn much fun.

I don't know where you live, but please feel free to follow us and join in a ride if at all possible. We usually do a Fall and a Spring ride. The Spring ride is on the Silver Comet/Chief Ladiga trail that goes from Smyrna, GA to Anniston, AL. Round trip is about 200 miles.

Well, it's been a few weeks since I've posted anything. Mainly because there hasn't been that much going on. But it's time to get cranking again!

Before we get into the schedule, the group now has a Facebook page. I'll be using that to post photos and announcements and well as the weekly schedule. I'm still looking for an app for it that will show a month calendar (you know... the one with the little squares versus the list offered by Facebook) so if any of you can find one that is still working, please let me know so I can get it on the page. The address for the Facebook page is:

The photos for the New River trip are posted there. As of this writing, we already have ONE LIKE! Way to go!!

One thing to remember.... If you have a trike, your family will never be at a loss as to what to get you for Christmas. Accessorize!!!

Week Schedule - Okay. It's going to rain for the next few days. So planning anything until it clears is kind of a moot issue. Also, with it getting dark earlier, the Tuesday and Thursday evenings on the Greenway are no longer practical. Maybe when the time changes it will improve to allow us to make one run.

The weekend ride went just fine in spite of the charity run that was being conducted on the Greenway. From what I saw, participation in the run was minimal and I don't think we really saw more than 7 or 8 runners on the trail. It was a bit chilly at first but warmed up as we rode. But hey! It's that time of year.

The weather this week looks like another stinker - although certainly not nearly as bad as Texas is getting it. Looking at the 10 day forecast it doesn't look like there will be many miles put in, but I'm going to post the "normal" schedule anyway. Hey! Ya never know.
